I was chatting with a friend this week as I handed off the season "2" dvds and he was checking out the cast members on the back cover saying all his favs were in it.

My comment... yeah, all but Quintus Battiatus. :klingon:

Still wondering why they changed his historical name.

They did? I thought that was one of the accepted spellings/names. Its not like they know a lot about the guy anyway, and Quintus was a much better character than whatever they called him in the Kirk Douglas version.

Well, we know his real name!

The real lanista of the ludus at Capua was named Cnaeus Lentulus Batiatus.

I don't really see a reason to have changed his given name to "Quintus" for the show.

They didn't want to use Gnaeus after Pompey was featured on Rome?

I don't really know either

I can't wait for the new season. That trailer is awesome.

I was wondering how they were going to handle the massive battles between thousands of troops, and it looks like they'll be switching between long CGI shots of the armies and focusing on our main heroes fighting hand-to-hand.
